Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224

Speculation Tristan returned after getting his things and saw Ysabelle and Sophie huddled before his computer. Confused, he asked, “What’s going on?” “Uncle Tristan, Sophie wants to use your computer. I tried a couple of birthdays, but none of them were correct.” “Do you think everyone uses birthdays as their password like you?” Tristan strode toward them and typed quickly on his keyboard. He pressed the Enter key and unlocked the computer with a flourish. Sophie muttered, “Actually, I don’t have to use it right now.” A computer was considered a rather private possession, let alone one in Lombard Group’s headquarters. Tristan’s computer probably holds a ton of secrets! He reassured her, “Don’t worry. Just use it. There are no secrets in there that you can’t know about.” “Really?” Ysabelle continued excitedly, “So what’s your password, Uncle Tristan?”

He shot his niece a look, and she immediately dropped the topic. Fine! Just take it that I didn’t say anything! I didn’t do that on purpose! I was just curious. “Have fun,” Tristan said to Sophie before leaving the office. Ysabelle perked up right after her uncle’s departure. She complained pettily, “It’s just a password. What’s the big deal?” Then, she went one step further and backstabbed Tristan, claiming, “It must be some ex-girlfriend’s birthday or something. That’s why he doesn’t want you to know!” That must be it! Sophie was unbothered by her assumption. So what if it is? Tristan isn’t that young. It won’t be strange if he has ex-girlfriends. Her reaction took the wind out of Ysabelle’s sails.

Ysabelle whined, “Sophie Tanner! Why do you look so unaffected? Don’t you care at all?” She should show a smidge of emotion! “What kind of reaction should I be showing?” asked Sophie. “Jealousy! Aren’t you even the least bit jealous when I’m talking about my uncle’s ex-girlfriend? Perhaps, you don’t like my uncle at all!” Or you wouldn’t be displaying such a lackluster response! Oh, my poor Uncle Tristan! Sophie explained, “What’s the use in being jealous? What’s done is done.

Don’t you think it’s a waste of time to brood over the unchangeable past?” “Fine! You win.” In hindsight, Ysabelle wondered why she had bothered to argue with a person as logical as Sophie. Meanwhile, Sophie downloaded a piece of software on Tristan’s computer and was satisfied with its running speed. “What are you doing?” Ysabelle who was playing a game on her mobile phone stared at the screen out of curiosity. Sophie had agreed to write a song for The Wheelers. Since she was free today, she decided to get the job over and done with. “You’re writing a song?” Ysabelle was stunned. We’re both in high school. How is Sophie so talented? Sophie wondered if she somehow looked like the farthest thing from a songwriter. “Why? Can’t I write songs?” Ysabelle pulled a chair over and sat beside her, praising, “No, Sophie. You’re a freaking genius. I would never doubt you, even if you claimed you knew how to steer a spaceship.” She added, “Why don’t you start? Don’t worry!

She had barely finished her sentence when Mark video-called her. Sophie answered the call, and Mark’s handsome face immediately appeared on her phone screen. “Hey, look at me, Sophie!” Sunny shoved Mark aside barely a second later and stuck his face before the camera. Sophie greeted them and asked, “How’s everything? Are you adapting well?” Sunny shot her a radiant smile and replied, “We’re used to being on the road. Adapting to a different country is as easy as pie for us. Don’t worry! And hey, don’t fret over the contract termination. Take it slow. If nothing can be done about it, we’ll just get blacklisted. It’s no big deal.” The band prioritized Sophie’s well-being above everything else. To Sunny’s displeasure, Sophie replied, “Hand the phone to Mark.” He wailed, “Why? Are you sick of me just after our extremely brief conversation? You’re too much, Sophie!” “Play nice.”

Her simple response immediately soothed Sunny’s ruffled feathers. He asked, “Aren’t you on your holidays now, Sophie? Why don’t you meet us here?” “I can’t. I need to handle some matters in Chanaea.” After attending to some business in Jipsdale, she still had a difficult situation to solve in Horington. She definitely did not have the luxury to go on a vacation with The Wheelers overseas. Finally, Mark grabbed the phone from Sunny and got down to business. “What’s going on? Are there still issues with the contract?” He knew it was going to be a tricky situation to deal with.
